Our 406 went off when our plane made an excursion from the runway. Before the pilot could get out and call someone, Coast Guard in Hawaii had already called and locked in the position of the plane. Our plane was near the Great Lakes!
One thing about 406 ELT's. They do also transmit on 121.5, but at about 10% power level of what the 121.5 ELT's transmitted at. And the searching aircraft needs to have their locating radio tuned to look for a 406.

The title of this article is a gross error. Goyer only owns a fractional share and this plane is based at his home airport in Texas, so it's the one he uses most often. He was not the pilot on this flight, nor was he even in the plane when the mid-air occurred.

My childhood was spent near Westover AFB. I remember a fellow classmate in high school, whose father was lost in a B-52 crash at Westover. There were 2 crashes, I believe, and it was probably the other one. Same scenario though, ejection at low altitude.
May we never forget all those, even if we don't remember their names, who have given their lives in the name of freedom.

Read the list of recent accidents - Buffalo, Lexington, goofing off and flaming out at 41,000 feet, etc, etc. If my butt is in a back seat and at the mercy of someone in the cockpit who is not performing correctly, then I for one want management to know about it.
